Another keyboard shortcut stocking stuffer

Tuesday, December 22, 2009 ·

I've had quite a few comments regarding my previous post that shared how to quickly activate your favorite browser's address bar using ⌘ – L on a Mac or CTRL – L for Linux/Windows users. Today we are going to carry on the keyboard shortcut theme and integrate two more similar keystrokes into our browsing work flow. These keystrokes, presented below, will open a new browser tab and close the currently active browser tab without the need to move your hands off the keyboard.

Open a new browser tab:
Mac | ⌘ – T
Linux/Windows | CTRL – T

Close a browser tab:
Mac: ⌘ – W
Linux/Windows: CTRL – W

I showed these to my MacBook using wife and she loved them! Give them a shot and combine these with the previous keystroke you learned. You'll notice your browser productivity will skyrocket! You know, it's the little things during the holiday season...ain't it? Merry Christmas!

BTW...would like credit to the "Escape key escaping" image, but couldn't find the original source. Anyone have that info?
